  • the present invention relates to automobile vehicle hood closure systems.
  • hood at the front pivots relative to the structure of the vehicle by means of hinges situated in the rear part of the hood, at the same end as the windshield.
  • the system generally comprises a lock connecting the hood to the structure of the vehicle. This connection to the structure creates a rigid area at the front of the vehicle which, in the event of a frontal impact with a pedestrian, can cause trauma to the hip, in the case of an adult, or to the head, in the case of a child.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide an automobile vehicle front hood closure system that reduces injury in the event of an impact with a pedestrian.
  • the present invention provides a vehicle hood including a wall, connecting devices for mounting the mobile hood on a vehicle chassis fixed to the wall nearer a rear edge of the wall than to its other edges, and a locking member fixed to the wall for locking the hood to the chassis in a closed position, which locking member is nearer the rear edge of the wall than a front edge of the wall opposite the rear edge.
  • the locking member is advantageously equidistant from two lateral edges of the hood.
  • the connecting devices advantageously include hinges.
  • the hood is rotatably mounted on the chassis.
  • the connecting devices advantageously include slides.
  • the hood is slidably mounted on the chassis.
  • the hood advantageously includes a safety catch operative in its closed position.
  • the safety catch is advantageously nearer the front edge of the wall than the rear edge of the wall.
  • the safety catch advantageously includes a hook adapted to engage in the chassis.
  • the invention also provides a vehicle which includes a vehicle hood according to the present invention.
  • the invention also provides a vehicle including a chassis and a hood having a wall, connecting devices fixed to the wall and to the chassis so that the hood is mobile on the chassis, a connecting means being nearer a rear edge of the wall than its other edges, and a locking member fixed to the wall for locking the hood to the chassis in a closed position, and nearer the rear edge of the wall than a front edge of the wall opposite the rear edge.
  • the locking member advantageously includes a lock adapted to be connected to the chassis.

  • the hood is advantageously mounted on the chassis so that it can rotate and move in translation.
  • the hood advantageously includes at least one bracket adapted to cooperate with an orifice formed in a boss projecting from a wing of the vehicle.
  • the invention also provides a vehicle hood including a wall, connecting devices for mounting the mobile hood on a vehicle chassis fixed to the wall, the connecting devices being nearer a common first edge of the wall than the other edges of the wall, and a locking member fixed to the wall for locking the hood to the chassis in a closed position, which locking member is nearer the first edge of the wall than an edge of the wall opposite the first edge.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial three-dimensional view of the front of a vehicle.
  • FIG. 2 is a profile view showing how the hood of the vehicle shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the chassis.
  • FIGS. 3 a, b and c are partial three-dimensional views of the front of the vehicle shown in FIG. 1 and show the steps of closing the hood.
  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view of a safety catch for the hood of the vehicle shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the front body shell 1 of a vehicle in accordance with the present invention includes a scuttle 33 , a grille 35 , two wings 32 , two light units 34 at the front ends of the wings 32 and on respective opposite sides of the grille 35 , and a hood 3 , the bodyshell as a whole covering a chassis, of which only a portion 2 is shown.
  • the hood 3 includes a wall 40 delimited by a more or less convex front edge 4 , a more or less straight right-hand edge 5 , a more or less concave rear edge 6 and a more or less straight left-hand edge 7 .
  • the vehicle has a locking member 10 near the rear edge 6 .
  • the locking member includes a lock 12 which is adapted to be connected to a portion of the chassis of the vehicle that is not shown and includes a receiving notch 13 that is flared at its front end and blind at its rear end.
  • the locking member 10 further includes a loop 11 projecting from the inside face of the wall 40 of the hood 3 and connected to that wall 40 .
  • the loop 11 is adapted to be received in the notch 13 of the lock 12 when the hood 3 is closed, so locking it in its closed position.
  • the locking member 10 further includes a cable, not shown, which can be operated from the passenger compartment of the vehicle to unlock the hood 3 when it is locked in its closed position: the cable releases the loop 11 from the lock 12 so that the hood can be opened.
  • the hood 3 includes a symmetrical pair of brackets 37 near the front edge 4 , with one on each lateral side of the wall 40 , near the right-hand and left-hand edges 5 and 7 , respectively; the respective body 30 of each bracket projects from the lower face of the wall 40 .
  • a circular section stud 36 projects from the body 30 parallel to the wall 40 of the hood 3 and toward the rear edge 6 .
  • the studs 36 are adapted to engage in orifices 38 formed in the front faces of respective bosses 31 projecting from respective inner wings 32 .
  • the hood 3 includes connecting devices 20 which connect it to the chassis of the vehicle and enable it to move relative thereto. They are respective connecting devices 20 near the right-hand and left-hand edges 5 , 7 of the wall 40 , near the rear edge 6 . Note that FIG. 1 does not show the connecting devices 20 mounted on the hood 3 completely, but that FIG. 2 does.
  • each of the connecting devices 20 includes two arms 21 and 22 .
  • the arm 21 can rotate on the chassis of the vehicle about a horizontal pin A 1 perpendicular to the direction of motion of the vehicle.
  • a rear portion of the arm 21 includes a slot 24 in which a pin A 4 parallel to the pin A 1 can slide.
  • the arm 21 has a second part that extends the first part toward the front at an angle ⁇ .
  • the second part includes a slot 23 in which a pin A 3 attached to the hood 3 and parallel to the pins A 1 and A 4 slides.
  • the arm 22 is fastened at one end to the pin A 4 .
  • the arm 22 further includes a support 25 projecting toward the rear on the same side as the pin A 1 when the arm 22 is mounted in the connecting device 20 .
  • the support 25 is fastened to the arm 22 and receives a spring 26 whose rear end is fastened to the chassis of the vehicle and whose front end bears on the arm 22 .
  • the spring 26 is a coil spring.
  • the support 25 can rotate relative to the arm 22 about an axis parallel to one of the pins A 2 , A 4 .
  • the vehicle includes a safety catch 41 , 42 .
  • the safety catch includes a housing 42 formed in the front portion 2 of the chassis of the vehicle, above the grille 35 .
  • the opening of the housing 42 is partly closed at the top by a tongue 46 .
  • the safety catch further includes a latch 41 having at the rear a hook 43 that is received freely in the housing 42 via its opening and at the front a manipulator arm 44 .
  • the latch 41 is mounted on the hood 3 so that it can rotate about a horizontal pin A 5 perpendicular to the direction of movement of the vehicle and extending between the arm 44 and the hook 43 .
  • a return spring 48 connects the latch 41 and the hood 3 so that the hook 43 , when it is not manipulated in any way, is held as close as possible to the wall of the hood 3 .
  • FIGS. 3 a to 3 c assume that the hood 3 is raised to its open position, as shown in FIG. 3 a .
  • the pins A 3 and A 4 are at the end farthest from the pin A 1 of the respective slots 23 and 24 because of the thrust that the spring 26 applies to its support 25 , which is connected to the arm 22 .
  • the connecting devices 20 are therefore as shown in FIG. 2 . Closure of the hood begins with a downward rotation about the pin A 1 of the connecting devices 20 , which rotation continues until the hood 3 reaches the position shown in FIG. 3 b .
  • the pins A 3 and A 4 then remain in the same position within their respective slots, because of the thrust of the spring 26 .
  • the loop 11 is then in front of the notch 13 of the lock 12 .
  • the hook 43 of the latch 41 is in front of the opening of the housing 42 but disengaged from it.
  • the hood 3 is therefore locked in a closed position, as shown in FIG. 3 c.
  • FIG. 3 b shows the position of the hood at this moment. Then, upward movement in rotation about the pin A 1 raises the hood to its open position.
  • the connecting devices can be hinges so that the hood is mounted on the chassis to rotate about only one axis.
  • the return spring of the safety catch can be a tension spring or a torsion spring mounted on the pin.
  • the latch can be fastened to the hood at the end opposite the hook, the body of the latch serving as a return spring.
